Double Chocolate Hamantashen

I wanted to try some new hamantashen dough recipes and really changed it up with these dark chocolate versions.

Ingredients

2 eggs

2/3 cup oil

3/4 cup sugar

2 cup flour (can use whole wheat), plus more for rolling

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Homemade Nutella

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350.

Beat eggs, oil and sugar together in a bowl with a mixer or by hand. Add flour, coocoa, baking powder and salt and mix until well combined. Place dough on a floured surface and roll out to 1/8 inch thick, cut out rounds with a cup or biscuit cutter. Drop a teaspoon of filling in the middle of the circles, pinch three corners together forming a triangle. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350.

Tip: It might be easier to work with this dough if you put it in the fridge for 30 minutes before rolling.

Note: I first tried this recipe with peanut butter filling and then nutella. Because the dough is very rich and bitter the peanut butter didn't work as well, but the nutella was a major winner.
